For the last two years, I’ve been lucky enough to have been invited to go to Las Vegas to attend the CES and do commentary for the Fatal1ty shootouts at the Creative Labs booth. This year I haven’t heard from them and I know there’s going to be a booth, so I sent an email to my contact asking if they wanted my awesomeness again this year.

The email almost immediately bounced back – my contact is no longer with the company. This makes me sad, because I have no way to get in touch with him and he was an awesome guy. It also means that I don’t get to go to Vegas (doubly, since I had a different opportunity to go but I waited too long to see if I would hear from Creative). I like Vegas. I like doing the CES, even with the terror and body image trauma it brings. I am a sad Kimli.

Between not being asked to return for the CES, my inability to get a job, and the communication issues in our circle of friends that results in Ed and I not getting invited to group hang outs, I am actually a VERY sad Kimli who is rapidly sinking into the Land of Complex.

Booo.
